lyrics

If the Well runs dry

You held on for as long as you could
Something mysterious that you never understood
You thought that it would last
For all time
But you woke up on morning and you felt it was gone
The feeling you had felt for so long
And you asked yourself what will happen
If the well runs dry

And an emptiness crept up in your soul
You took a walk to get it under control
You looked for answers
Within your own mind
But down inside you heard your mind say
Maybe the bird had finally flown away
How far can I go
If the well runs dry

I felt it before I want it again
Throw down a compass
I need some direction
I’m here all alone
Awake at night
What will happen
If the well runs dry

I felt it before Can I have it again
You said to the void
No one was listenin
You said please
As youlooked up to the sky
And you didn’t see clouds but you felt the rain
Coming from within again
And you wondered if the well had run dry

I plant the seeds pray for the rain
Put my faith in the fates again
I ask for a crop
Sometimes there’s no reply
I take a breath and I bury my head
In books where I think the answers are read
And I wonder what will happen
If the well runs dry

I felt it before I want it again
Throw down a compass
I need some direction
I’m here all alone
Awake at night
What will happen
If the well runs dry
